Telegraph: Sheshko is more like Vejost than Fanny, looks tall but has doubts about heading skills

August 31, Manchester United beat Burnley 3-2. The British media Telegraph wrote an article about Manchester United center Sheshko. The Telegraph said that Sheshko must deal with the special pressure of being a sky-high striker in Manchester United. The Telegraph wrote ↓

At that moment, Sheshko seemed to announce his arrival. Mubomo's exquisite cross was slung into the penalty area, which was unbearable. Sheshko's huge body rose from the air from the position that was already higher than the defensive player, and the ball shot towards the goal with a strong head. The audience held their breath and looked forward to the ripples in the net. But this header lacks precise guidance and lands on the top of the net after drawing an arc.

This was an excellent opportunity when Manchester United was in desperate need of a goal against Burnley. However, it was not converted into a goal in the end.

A few minutes later, Dalot broke through along the wing and passed the ball to his new teammate lurking in the middle of the penalty area. This time, Sheshko's position was more ideal, and the ball hit his forehead without bias. But his touch ball was completely unconvincing, and his head was off the target and flew towards the corner flag.

When Manchester United urgently needed a goal, Sheshko's substitute performance was unconvincing. Deeply embedded in Old Trafford's collective memory is the legend of Rooney's hat-trick in his debut, the edge of Van Nystruey's first goal scorer at home, and the declaration that Van Persie declared the end of his goal drought when he made his debut against Fulham. At this moment, Sheshko was unable to deliver the answer at the moment when the situation was most needed to change.

If this seems harsh to this young man who has just arrived in Manchester and has few playing time, it just reflects the heavy expectations brought by the huge transfer fee. The club spent nearly 75 million pounds to introduce him not to make him a slight difference or to appreciate his successful top-up, but to need him to send the ball into the net, and should not stagger and lose the ball when catching the ball in the middle circle.

Amorin, after observing Hoylen for a long time last season, determined that he was unable to play the role of a sharp sword on the front line. During Manchester United's disastrous season, Hoylen's figure was always seen running hard and half a step late, with frustration on his face. Hoylen always appears in the wrong position at the wrong time, and is a typical example of the opposite side of Manchester United's greatest scorer in history Dennis Law. Now Hoylen has been thrown into Naples, while Sheshko joins as an upgraded signing. But he struggled against the low-level defense against the fourth-level team Grisby on Wednesday, ranking tenth in the long and exciting penalty shootout. Now facing Burnley, he came on as a substitute when the team urgently needed a goal in the last moment. For the coach, this is completely related to the physical fitness of the game.

Amorin said: "He had cramps after the game and did reach the limit, which is why we protected him from the penalty shootout. He never played for 90 minutes during the preseason. All of this is related, so today we choose to protect him."

Manchester United fans are bound to worry: they have not seen any signs of inspiring enthusiasm from the new players so far. As of now, his ball-holding performance is more reminiscent of Werkhorn rather than Fanny. He seems tall but has doubts about heading skills and is slow to turn around.

Amorin knew that the forward line was urgently needed to turn on the firepower as soon as possible. Although Mbermo performed well against Burnley, constantly creating and seizing opportunities, he was in a good position in his new owners; Sheshko was still an unfinished item that needed significant improvement. Only by proving that the early clumsy struggle performance is not normal as soon as possible, let the header hit the target as soon as possible, and ensure the stability of the ball on his back and holding the ball as soon as possible, can the pressure on his shoulder be reduced as soon as possible.
